>>2218798Willamette has been discussed...I suppose I just have some trepidation about the time of year; is our time frame of winter (Jan-Mar) a concern?
Also, overland/hiking/summits have been discussed, but it will undoubtedly be a light pack (i.e. what we can carry) and mostly speechless hiking grinds...as previously stated, the appeal of water travel is the option for heavy provisions and the (relatively) easy pace.
